the width of the in russia, it says it's repelled more dry and strikes as one of the on tapes behind the tax on us border regions threatens further incursions. the other there understands the pay. this has houses here at life and also coming the u . s. and saudi arabia, verifying reports and violations of the seas, funds to don, more disturbing deeds, housing madge about doing steakhouse and kenya as police board and their investigation. and the type food in the us territory of guam is bringing potentially catastrophic winds to the pacific time.

the russia says attacks on its border region. if belgrade continued any early hours of wednesday, the defense ministry says numerous drawings into the territory, but most to shop found. nicholas minimal damage. russia says it killed $75.00 to is that across the board according that ukrainian nationalist ukraine has denied any involvement. well, 2 anti kremlin groups claimed responsibility for the bells around the tax, but the u. s. has distanced itself from reports that it supplied the liberty of russia legion and the russian volunteer. cool with equipment law, school release, pictures during bonds and vehicles in the belgrade area including us made home these let me say a few things about number one. we've seen some of the reports circulating on social media and elsewhere, making claims that us supplied weapons were using these attacks. i will say that

we're skeptical at this time of the veracity of these reports as a more general principle, as we said. and i believe i said yesterday, we do not encourage or enable strikes inside of russia. and we've made that clear um, but as we've also said, it is up to ukraine to decide how to conduct this war. well, that's bring in and terms of costs as he is the director of the center for democratic integrity, and also the ortho, russia and the west and far right. he joins us now from vienna. and one can you tell us a little more about these groups? the liberty of russia legion and the russian volunteer coal. i know that now saying they control pockets of territory just how large or powerful on a you well 1st of all, hello and thank you for having me. if let talking about those 2 units, i would rather talk about only one unit, which is the russian valencia cool. this is a facing unit that's actually exist, not only on paper, but also like in real life. so the solidity of russia legion. well,

i would prefer to call it to the freedom of russian legion. it's more of a, um, sort of uh, information project that was designs in order to present it. sites are the surrender of russian criminal controlled soldiers and officers to the crayon forces, giving them i hope, or an idea to join you train in fighting of the criminal. so it's, it's more, it's more of a project that's may. in fact, it's, it's, at some point in the future become real, become a real fighting force, but at the moment is just the project. so i told the restaurant about guns. here's what i wanted to ask you about the fighters themselves. when you quote, when you were talking about the russian volunteer, cool, for instance, all those fight as will russian. i suppose it some ukrainian and signal and their uniforms in the video statement we saw earlier. yeah. look, uh they are fools, the old russian citizens. uh, they are not necessarily ethnic russians,

not totally ethnic rush, but they are all russian citizens. mm hm. so uh, even if they carry some ukrainian insignia, i don't know what it means that they are part of the ukraine bombs, forces international legion. they do have those units, which is quite large unit, it's on, it's not only has russian nationals, but also biller loose ends as well. so it, so they have georgia lead time as well. this is because the default of the a large a are you training on the international legion? so this is why they carry a ukrainian cigna about the old russian citizen. so what are they hoping to achieve? i know they've said previously this is the hearts and minds was that they believe they're fighting indeed, but you know, we cannot really talk about the one unifying ideology of the russian valencia for it. if we start talking about one single idea that unites all of them is the idea

of being the russian national liberation struggle. or they believe that the kremlin and puts him and he's clique, or they have colonized russian people that they, uh, uh, are pursuing a and to russian agenda. you know, making russia, you know, you know, like a fella they, they, they've been so the, the small as a, as a style as a, as a conflict between 2 very close nation. so they are, they're fighting to lead the rates, russia, from what they see as the colonizing cremeans force. some of them also believe that they want to how the russian national states, a russian nation states, which means that they may even opt for us, small law, russia, you know, to, to do open opportunity to know academic russian republics will territories to

seed and form their own states because they really want to have actually it's something like ukraine or bill rooms. oh, and here money on the european state. and what i'm wondering when in this fight, where are they getting their weapons? what do you make of these allegations? they're using these us, supplied homes that are, you really don't know what's, what weapons they are using, what weapons they happen, where they get from to i can only presume that since they are pods over the uh, ukranian dom forces. uh, since the bottom of the international legion uh, you know, released may give us a hint to where they actually take the weapons from shaw and tons of calls to solve . he's the director of the center of the democratic integrity. speaking to us from vienna, really great to get your thoughts on is there. thank you for joining us. i'm from thank you. thank you for coming me. well meanwhile, the russian prime minister, making them interesting is yours and meet chinese president decision thing and

beijing as part of a 2 day visit to china. the 2 nations of ramped up the economic and different lot of cooperation since russia invaded ukraine, will not speak to a correspondent. katrina usually is watching that visit for us envisioning katrina . i believe that musing is somewhat imminent. we obviously know that things have become pretty friendly of the that's right. so as far as we know, that meeting is taking place as i speak now, it has begun and rushes beside me. she was welcomed here in bathing as an old friend, even though this is his 1st time in china as presses prime minister. now, just some notes that i took from this meeting, which he didn't think earlier, they spoke about expanding areas of corporations. take russia in china, ties to a new level. for example, they spoke about increasing tourism, increasing student in exchanges in order to what misuse and described as an increase mutual sympathy for each other. people feel so, so it's about regular meetings between preston officials and russian fetus. as well

. now she didn't think sees this relationship as a normal teacher, important as he describes the he sees china locked in his ideological back to the west. and he very much newton and russian studies used to put his boss is here in china for 2 days. to the corporation and one of the things he mentioned was taking those economic trade ties to a new level this year to reach unprecedented $200000000000.00. and already since the beginning of the year, 373000000000 dollars annually, he missed the chinese premier chung and they signed a range of deals with the same corporation, the areas of trade services, agriculture and schools. and that's to add to a reading for boss trade of energy resources. now trying to benefit norma see in one sense from this rule and that the west has shown russia and russian time to. so china is getting very cheap oil and gas, and it's also convinced russia to transact increasingly and trying to do it. but of

course, it's not just a benefit to trying to haven't closed slides. most codes also liability because it's really huge in time. is reputation for katrina. you're talking about this ideological bass. what was the wes given order? is that what's now happening with phasing piece plans? the ukraine. they've been on this diplomatic trauma sense of how is that old and going that's right. so trying to send it special envoy lee way to europe in, in the past which is visited ukraine, poland, and bronze. he's also met visuals and i think district because they damage control to try to maintain good ties with which it needs to maintain its economy. but aging is also trying to sell the piece mission to try to convince the world that china is a neutral party. here and on this program and in a good position to mediate keith in this context of trying to step out, it's pete, which is more dialogue and it's the science. but of course this seems a non stop because you prayed has told china again and again that is not prepared

to accept any piece deal which includes seating territory to most katrina. you that live for us and a very windy beijing. thank you very much. katrina moving on, i'm united nations human rights chief, has a through don's warning sides to stop what he calls, sense with violence and despair, civilians. his comments come as the us and saudi arabia investigate reports to cease 5 violations. a week long truth between the army and the power military rapids. the board forces is meant to enable the safe delivery and distribution of humanitarian aid. we add on washington, have accused the warring factions of ignoring such as not to seek military advantage before that unsafe 5. again. the un human rights ex betral ensued on says the conflict is destroying the country and the issue, analyzing its people without correspondent houses. here is have a morgan is one of the very few gentlest working on the ground that ensued on. she has won, i from on demand that's moved west of call to you can definitely smells death on

sooner the the welcome back to watching out a 0 i'm associated of hearing. so let's remind you about top stories. processed as attacks on belgrade continued any early hours of wednesday says numerous trojans entered it's tara, treat my special town, must go rally as said, it's forces killed, $75.00 to is due to entity from ukraine and all the russian prime minister miguel.

and tristan, as musing with china as president children, thing and beijing. this comes off to west and nations, increased sanctions on so forth invasion if you united nations human rights chief has adds to don's warring science to stop what he calls. sense this finds, his comments come as the us and saudi arabia investigate reports of cease 5 violations of thousands of people displaced by the conflict. and if you will, just take her, i region have lots through the capital. luckily on choose day. because the think holding for an end to the violence and to be allowed to return to their land. 2 years of fighting between the government and the divine people's liberation front ended in a truce in november. but many of the 2000000 people forced to flee, therefore their homes are still unable to over time. thousands of women have been abducted by separatists group and kind of rude. they are protesting against the payments made to its stores. this month. video footage appears to show at least 49

when the latter being held captive. there came out to near the border with nigeria . the government says its sent troops to rescue, as well from says, band, domestics for the whole flight. so any trip that can be done by train and less than 2 and a half hours, it's part of the climate flow that ends to cut carbon emissions. the changes were allowed to add travel between paris and some of the front of the largest cities. the government is also looking at cracking down on use of private jets, special chinese connecting flights, though unaffected. well, not spoke office. the gentleman of environmental study is at the university of colorado. the folder, he says the wells will be watching how successful the span will be. this is going to be a test case from any other countries to potentially fall. wow, this material impact is quite minimal. really just 2 percent of global c o. 2 emissions come from aviation and just canceling 3 flight routes as minimal and mature ways, but in symbolic ways. this has

a lot of purchase. that the ways in which this then generates conversations, much like the one that we're having right now can open up further possibilities for mission cuts, emissions cuts, elsewhere. it's about a 3rd of c, o, 2 emissions. when you travel from place to place by train versus buy, uh, airprint. and so that's one way to think about as a train travel is a much smaller fraction of our global c o. 2 emissions though it's everything does counts and other ways in which we get from place to place does matter. and transportation overall contributes somewhere in the range of a quarter to 30 percent of global emissions. what i think is really important here as well as that this demonstrates the power of climate policy action. and then you can structure then choices that people can make within the confines of considering sensitivity to climate change. and so people will still have the ability to travel around from place to place. it may force train travel to improve

its services when to turn it from its passengers. and this can then not be seen. is there any type of sacrifice brother seen as new opportunities available to us? it's a tougher and has hit the us tired tree of guam tie for now was expected to be the west storm to hit the pacific islands in decades. the u. s. military is sent to a ships and anyone that not living in a concrete her and has been advised to seek safety elsewhere. typing mama was full cost to arrive as a category for storm with winds of up to 225 kilometers per hour. but it could strengthen to the most powerful level category 5, the last time a storm that strong hit guam was back in 1962. meanwhile, wildfires in canada have now banned through a 1000000 hectares of land. thousands of crews from the us of joins the asset that to contain the flames astray. a new zealand also sending helps to meet, treat medford and co reports. it's

charles schumer has recently released a framework proposing but tech giant should reveal their data sources and explain models further algorithms. that is something that republicans are pushing back on, suggesting that this is an over rage that could stifle innovation and even cut in 2 business prophets. recent hearings also failed to put forward to any sort of substantial legislation proposals. and as a result, that is why some top business groups like the chamber of commerce and. busy cited states or calling for law makers to work harder to come up with some sort of legislation and in a hurry. that's because there are fears that there could soon be concerned about the loss for american businesses and even threats to us. national security. kimberly helped get al jazeera, the white house around us. any of us on is a professor at jcl, a as department of information studies. he says,

regulation could actually benefits the few ai company is operating that in the us. and i'm very, very concerned that a lot of these calls for regulation and those that seem to be driving discussions around what such regulation would look like in relation to artificial intelligence or industry titans. right. i think it's worth noting that in the space there are no, it is not a come very competitive market. it's just a couple players in the united states, primarily google or an opening. i ran it and opening i has a connection to microsoft. so when sam, ultimate or other industry execs go in front of congress and say we want regulation, what they're essentially saying is set up a bunch of legal parameters that are optimized for our own success. however, there are aspects of this call that are very important. i really hope they end up getting prioritized, which is, what is the future going to look like for workers in this country, let alone the wider world. when digital systems are essentially able to use the

personal data of us all to mimic our behavior and replace us in many cases now is the critical juncture. i think it's partly because these a i technologies and i'm specifically referring to g p t for g p t 5 or just so i'm counting in their ability to mimic human behavior and at times go off the rails. so i think that creates a lot of anxiety for us all like what is this that we're engaging with the issues that a real public interest, real people centered interest, real planet center. the interest of regulation on these platforms on these systems is actually very much the same issue as what needs to be done with our digital lives more generally and absolutely with social media and search as well. and you've got an teenage that has become a social media sensation for his unique baseball training. a lot of money in facilities for spanish. can somebody to come up with alternative ways to develop his skills and as a whole, public reports now it's paid off. c c of the usual trading regular ed. i
